AngryBy now I'm sure most, if not all of you have heard that Little Richie Daley, the mayor of Chicago sent a wrecking crew under cover of darkness and under police escort to start ripping up the runways at Meigs field, which he's wanted converted to Parkland for years. There were sixteen planes caught on the ground, (My brother's Skylane among them), when last I checked, which means there might be a legal firestorm brewing, but for now it looks like Meigs field, the default Airport in MSFS2k and 2K2, is now a part of history. I think it would be nice to post shots here of your favorite aircraft passing in salute over the field. To get things started, I've posted two; first is my Dehavilind Tiger Moth "Gypsy" dipping her wings in tribute as she makes a low pass:
...

Next we have Firefox in a hard turn as she vectors towards Bridgeport while aquiring missle targeting data on the Daley home. (Hee Hee! Grin)

Well, it is one of Pauls Mark, (the quality stands out a mile!) but it's the 91 Squadron MkXIVe. It's just an awsome plane and I love it Grin

Cub, the Airship is replaced by an addon by Bill and Lynn Lyons. It is called "Golden wings" if I remember correctly. What this addon allows you to do is switch between the classic era and modern day. This alters all the AI traffic to old planes and replaces some of the default building textures.

I have tried looking for a link to the download but to no avail, what I suggest you do is go to the Forum on this page http://windrfters.com/ and leave a message for Bill if you are interested.

The addon also requires knowledge of replacing a moving files which you need to do manually, will take about 30 mins to complete but comes with good instructions.

Hope this helps.
